Keyonna Perkins was 28 when she was abducted and murdered on June 6, 2017, in a wooded area of Elkton, Maryland. The killing followed an escalating dispute between her boyfriend, Markevis Stanford, and a group led by Ryan Bacon. The group allegedly plotted revenge after an earlier robbery and used online apps to share information and offer bounties for Stanford’s location or murder.

Perkins was followed after being identified as Stanford’s partner, confronted at gunpoint, had her keys and phone taken, was blindfolded and forced into a car trunk, and then driven to Elkton where she was shot multiple times. Her body was found near Ross Street. The same day, an unrelated shooting in Wilmington, Delaware, during the pursuit of Stanford struck a 6-year-old, JaShown Banner, leaving him with permanent disabilities.

A federal probe led to indictments for conspiracy, stalking and kidnapping. Multiple people were convicted or sentenced in connection with the plot and Perkins’ death. Did anyone in the area recognize suspicious online posts or vehicles tied to this group in the weeks before June 6, 2017?
